Summary "The Dyer's Guide" by Thomas Packer is a comprehensive manual on the art of dyeing, written in the early 19th century. The text serves as a practical resource for dyers, integrating methods for dyeing various materials such as linen, cotton, silk, and wool, while also providing insights into the chemical principles that underpin dyeing processes. It aims to bridge the gap in knowledge for practitioners in the dyeing industry, making it accessible to both experienced dyers and apprentices. The opening of "The Dyer's Guide" introduces the reader to the structure and content of the manual, including a detailed outline of various dyeing techniques and necessary mordants. It describes different branches of dyeing, highlighting specific processes for treating wool, silk, and cotton. Importantly, Packer discusses the importance of understanding the chemistry behind dyeing, such as the substances used and their interactions, in order to improve dye quality and permanence. He also emphasizes the practical experiences and observations accumulated over his career to ensure that the manual is rooted in everyday applications rather than theoretical ambiguity.
